    The album itself sound wonderful. Nice and crisp with plenty of low end. However, I feel like this was pressed on cheap vinyl as it's a bit noisy even after a cleaning. Not bad if you're looking for a good pressing at a fair price!

      I absolutely love this record and this is a decent remaster. Unfortunately, the pressing is where this one falls apart. Pops, clicks, and other assorted rumbles throughout are a disappointment. My copy has more divots in the vinyl than a golf course after I play a round.

        This reissue doesn't sound right to me. Please keep in mind, I only have this copy and have not tried other copies of this pressing or other pressings for that matter.

        The low end sounds punchy and strong. The midrange and highs were choppily mixed (or sounded so) and things got harsh.

        I would like to hear another copy, but I do question this one. Anyone else have it and hear you have a good one?

          Absolutely spectacular snapshot of 1968 British psychedelia. If you like the Beatles and Kinks, you will be right at home with some of these sounds. Arrangements and recording is on point.

          The vinyl is a slight bit noisy, a low rumble, but otherwise it's a clean pressing with no real issues.

          Recommended.
